For example, the cauldron is very important to the alchemist, and the strength of the fire spiritual power that needs to be input into the cauldron at the beginning.
What is the first spiritual medicine to be put into the cauldron, how to quench it, and what method should be used to remove the impurities in it.
Then when can the second spiritual medicine be put into the cauldron.
Duan Zhongbei took them to the third floor, where there was a table and a futon in a corner. The three of them went over and sat down.
He then calmly explained in detail the entire process of how to refine the first-level marrow cleansing pill, and Ming Fanxing and Feng Qingyi both remembered it firmly in their hearts.
In fact, many people know the process of refining the first-level marrow cleansing pill.
For example, there were not many people who came to Danxiang Pavilion to become alchemists, but there were quite a few, so the refining process was spread out very simply.
And Danxiang Pavilion didn't care.
After all, if someone could really learn to refine pills through this, they would be happy to see it happen. Wouldn't it be great to directly accept them as alchemists?
Duan Chongbei, "I think you all probably know what I said. Now follow me to the third floor."
"There are a lot of prepared elixirs there. I'll show you twice first, and then you can try it yourself."
"By the way! When I'm refining the elixir, you can use your spiritual consciousness to spy on me, but you must not use your spiritual consciousness to touch anything in the cauldron. Do you understand?"
Ming Fanxing and Feng Qingyi nodded respectfully. These are common sense, and Feng Qingyi had a general understanding of them before coming.
But Ming Fanxing is different from Feng Qingyi. He has never come into contact with refining elixirs. Although Duan Chongbei said that he understood the refining process of the marrow cleansing pill, he didn't know it either.
But Feng Qingyi definitely has more resources, and knows more as Duan Chongbei said, but he doesn't think he is lacking in that. He can watch it directly later, which is more intuitive.
There are some shelves in a prominent position on this floor, on which are placed some alchemy furnaces that seem to be emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance.
Looking in other directions, there is a corridor on the other side, and there are closed small rooms on both sides. These should be specially used for alchemists to refine pills, right?
After scanning with their spiritual consciousness, the two found that the small rooms inside were separated by dense prohibitions and could not be explored.
Feng Qingyi felt a tingling sensation in his consciousness after just a light scan with his spiritual consciousness, but fortunately this feeling quickly dissipated.
But Ming Fanxing didn't feel anything. He just felt that he couldn't get through the restriction. It was indeed the Danxiang Pavilion.
Duan Chongbei found two disciples here to get two alchemy furnaces, as well as some spiritual herbs for refining the first-level cleansing marrow pill, all of which were prepared in advance.
Then he took Ming Fanxing and the others into a medium-sized alchemy room.
"I think you all know that disciples who come to Danxiang Pavilion for the first time and want to learn how to refine pills can get twenty first-grade cleansing marrow pills of spiritual herbs for free."
He paused and continued, "However, you must successfully refine a second-grade pill before these twenty spiritual herbs are used up, otherwise there will be no free spiritual herbs provided later."
"This is only the first step."
He did not continue, "Just complete the first step first. If you can't even complete the first step, then there is no need to mention the second step."
Duan Chongbei took out his alchemy furnace from his storage bag, and then took out a spiritual herb. The first-grade cleansing marrow pill is recognized as the simplest of all pills.
"I will make the elixir in front of you now. I will explain the whole process in detail to you, including when to add each spiritual medicine and how to quench it."
"If you have any questions, remember to ask them in time and I will answer them one by one. Don't pretend to know when you
don't know about elixir making." "No matter how simple the question is, you must ask if you don't understand it. Do you understand?"
The two nodded solemnly, and Duan Chongbei adjusted his breath and then slowly spit out a flame from his mouth.
Both of them watched very carefully, because this ball of flame was completely different from the fireball technique.
Duan Chongbei, "The spiritual medicines in this world seem powerful, but they are actually very fragile. The flames used to forge and quench spiritual medicines must be the most gentle."
"And this flame is completely different from the flames of fire spells."
"Fire spells are all used for fighting. Those flames can directly burn many items into ashes with a slight contact or even just close to them."
"So... do you think such flames can be used to refine medicine and pills?"
Both of them remained silent. They had never thought about this before.
Duan Chongbei did not intend to let them answer, "This flame requires you to directly transform your spiritual power into the most gentle flame in your body, and then put such a flame into the alchemy furnace."
Having said this, Duan Chongbei gently threw the flame in his hand, and the flame floated lightly into the alchemy furnace.
"First, we need to heat up the alchemy furnace and gradually increase the temperature inside. Then we can throw the first spiritual medicine in. This spiritual medicine needs the longest calcination time..."
Duan Zhongbei threw the spiritual medicine in and said, "Put your consciousness in. Remember, just observe and do not intervene, otherwise these spiritual medicines will be destroyed immediately!"
Ming Fanxing and Feng Qingyi observed carefully.
They both swore in their hearts that this was definitely the first time in their lives that they released their consciousness so gently and carefully.
Fortunately, just sinking their consciousness into it would not affect Duan Chongbei's refining of the elixir. As long as they kept their consciousness stable and did not touch or interfere with anything in the cauldron,
Ming Fanxing put the spiritual herbs in one by one. With Duan Chongbei's extremely detailed explanation, Ming Fanxing already had the whole process of how to refine the marrow cleansing pill in his mind.
"What I put in just now is the last spiritual medicine, and it is also one of the main ingredients of the first-level Marrow Cleansing Pill. This main medicine is extremely fragile, and the tempering of this spiritual medicine needs to be completed as quickly as possible!"
"While tempering, you need to remove the impurities inside as before. Of course, such a short period of time is definitely not enough. You can only use your own consciousness to remove as many impurities as possible. This way, after the pill is formed, the quality of the pill will be higher."
This last main medicine gradually turned into a ball of green liquid medicine as Duan Zhongbei spoke, and it just floated in the pill cauldron.
In other places in the alchemy furnace, there are also some other medicinal liquids floating, being calcined by the warm flame at the bottom. All the medicinal liquids must be wrapped up with spiritual consciousness!
This can ensure that they will not be burned, and it can also ensure that the medicinal properties inside will not leak out.
Duan Chongbei, "The calcination time of the last main medicine is only this short, you must grasp the time well, now you can start to mix all the liquid medicines, after mixing..."
"After mixing, you need to control the flame below and increase the burning intensity of the flame to successfully turn this ball of liquid medicine into a pill."
"This whole process is the most important and most difficult step in alchemy! Basically, all those who want to become alchemists but fail in the end basically fail at this step!"
Duan Chongbei shouted softly, "Watch carefully!"
Ming Fanxing observed that after the calcination time of the main medicine was up, all the liquid medicines were mixed together quickly.
And at the moment of mixing, the flame that had been steadily outputting from the bottom of the alchemy furnace instantly covered the entire interior of the alchemy furnace.
The flames swirled around the liquid medicine, promoting the fusion of the medicinal properties of all the liquid medicines at the fastest speed, and also using the last chance to refine the impurities inside.
And the fusion of so many liquid medicines was not just a mixture, but the fusion of various medicinal properties, thus forming something new...
At this moment, a familiar fragrance floated out of the alchemy furnace.
Duan Zhongbei breathed a sigh of relief, "The pill is done."
As soon as the words fell, the flame in the alchemy furnace quietly dissipated, as if it had never appeared. Duan Zhongbei opened the furnace very solemnly, and then waved his hand gently.
Twenty-one pills floated out of the alchemy furnace.
Six of the pills had three faint halos, which were first-level third-grade marrow cleansing pills, which were exactly the same as the third-grade marrow cleansing pills among the resources distributed by the academy that they had received before.
The remaining fifteen pills were all second-grade marrow cleansing pills.
Duan Chongbei took a deep breath, "Not bad this time, six third-grade marrow cleansing pills!"
One third-grade marrow cleansing pill can be exchanged for a portion of spiritual herbs for refining marrow cleansing pills, and the rest are all earned. It must be said that talented alchemists can really make a lot of money.
Ming Fanxing pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle Duan, is this second-grade pill useful?"
Duan Chongbei separated the third-grade pill from the second-grade pill and put it away, then said, "Second-grade pills are of course still useful, but not very useful, let me tell you this."
"The poison left in the meridians by a third-grade Zhenyuan Pill requires a third-grade Xisui Pill to eliminate it. If you switch to a second-grade Xisui Pill, you will need several!"
"As for the first-grade Xisui Pill? The first-grade Xisui Pill is garbage. Not only can it not eliminate the poison, but it will increase it!"
"And the second-grade Zhenyuan Pill... the poison left by a second-grade Zhenyuan Pill requires several third-grade Xisui Pills to eliminate it. So now you know why you need a third-grade pill to be called a true alchemist, right?"
"Eliminums below the third grade are not worth taking at all. They are only purchased by poor monks when they have no other choice."
"Anyone with a bit of brains will not take elixirs below the third grade. You must not touch them either, understand?"
Ming Fanxing nodded solemnly, "I understand, Uncle Duan."
In fact, for Ming Fanxing, let alone elixirs below the third grade, he would not even take elixirs above the third grade.
"Uncle Duan, do you have elixirs of the fourth and fifth grades? What about those above?"
